Well, I don't know if that will affect park crowds but you may have to do this one minus one of the RAM1984's.
Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer okay guys, I need some feedback.

This might be short notice and a little crowded due to the Labor Day weekend (like we LP'ers are bothered by crowds) but how does Saturday the 1st sound??? Pirate Princess, are you sure you can't make it? Top Gun is fired up and waiting!

Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer 2/3, you think like I do. I like getting there early and getting in the prime "rideage" before the park gets too crowded.

I occasionally have business that takes me to Merced and I have often thought that it would be great if I could meet you. I'm not sure if the 15th would work out for us. Tinkeroon is scheduled to work and RAM1984 has family commitments. You've probably guessed that the 4 of us are just about family and like to play together. Our own family commitments may also place us in Merced that week-end. (family BBQ on Mariposa) Lets get a little more input and see if we can finalize the date by tonight. If we go for the 1st, thats' just 5 days away. Does anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions?

Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes I'm open for any date. The first would work, but I'm hoping to see 2/3 again, because she's so much fun to be around. The first might be a better date for me than later in the month. Heck, it's going to be crowded, so just go in knowing and accepting that and it will be alright.

Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer Okay, the majority rules. The Great America LP meet is officially scheduled for September 1st. (sorry Jim in Merced) I will be picking up Schmitty early Saturday morning, and joining up with the DW and clones in Manteca. From that point we should be able to get to Great America in about an hour and 15 minutes. (might take the RAM1984's a little longer, they actually believe that those litte signs on the highway are limits and not suggestions) In the meantime, maybe 2/3 could e-mail Ruthie (her e-mail addy is in her profile), exchange cell #'s and decide where we want to meet and at what time. I like charging the gates as soon as the rope drops (just teasing - I do miss the rope drop though).
